Canadian Citizens.
I think you fail to understand the difference between Alberta & Albertans. The political entity of Alberta (The Province) doesn't pay anything into some equalization pot, Canadian citizens from coast to coast pay federal income tax from which the federal government draws it's spending. That's where equalization transfer $$ come from.
It's a silly thing to whing about. Hell as (presumably) urban dwellers we probably see more of our per capita public dollars transferred from major cities to rural areas... I think you should write your MLA demanding that they dramatically cut funding for hospitals and schools outside of Calgary and Edmonton.

Since you apparently think provinces pay income tax... I'm gonna go ahead and think I'm correct here.
